New Vision
In the spring of 2010, the Jacksonville Landing was the object of a workshop during the American Planning Association’s yearly conference. Participants were challenged to reinvent the facility without constraints. Ideas were shared with the property managers and owner Sleiman, who was impressed with their vision. Suggestions included slicing a wedge from the landing to open up access from Laura Street, closing the western ramp to the Main Street Bridge and rerouting Laura Street through a roundabout, and adding a marina and other buildings, such as a hotel.

Famous quotes containing the word vision:
“I wish I could take back some of the things I said and some of the things I did. But in the bigger picture, I don’t feel that it was violent and terrible. I feel like it was primarily—obviously not completely—moral, based on a vision that the government should be better, and that people could be better, and that democracy should be real.”
—Bernardine Dohrn (b. 1942)
“At last a vision has been vouchsafed to us of our life as a whole. We see the bad with the good.... With this vision we approach new affairs. Our duty is to cleanse, to reconsider, to restore, to correct the evil without impairing the good, to purify and humanize every process of our common life, without weakening or sentimentalizing it.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
